#78 David Julian Gray, musician and media technologist

David Julian Gray has been playing music for 60 years; the clarinet chose him to be his main instrument. He remembers hearing music when he was just 4 years old and being profoundly influenced; he had never experienced such pleasure before and music has been the most important thing in his life since then. He says, "All that we experience as so-called reality is the intersection of vibration." He says playing music is a very real state of heightened awareness, feeling and manipulating vibrations. Music is a great path to higher consciousness and, if you attain that, then more peaceful and empathetic behavior happens naturally. He wishes everyone was taught music in schools as in the past, "which leads to a greater degree of empathy than learning morality out of a book."
